Can I Publish Private Email Conversations?

I have been having a long political debate, through several emails, with an editor from an online political website.

I told the editor I was going to publish our email dabates on my personal website. He stated that he *does not* give me permission to publish the email debates.

Am I legally within my rights to publish the debates on my personal website?

Re: Can I Publish Private Email Conversations?

Unless you had a prior agreement for confidentiality, or someone else holds a copyright of the materials in question, you are legally free to publish either public or private conversation on your website.

Whether or not this is a wise or ethical decision on your part are other questions.
